Lamb bhuna ❤️ an alternative way of cooking this classic 👍

Love making this dish. This method again is different to your usual restaurant/ takeaway version as it consists of no base sauce, you make your own sauce ! Again, it’s a simple recipe to follow and can be cooked in the same time it usually takes your local takeaway have it ready. Ingredients- 4 tbsp…

Aubergine curry with tomatoes, ginger & fennel seeds ❤️

Another dish taken from Rick Stein’s – Far Eastern Odyssey cook book. The recipe is nice and simple. Another contributing factor I picked this recipe as all I needed to purchase was the aubergines which cost 80p each. I had all the other ingredients in the house plus the mint that was used I picked…

Chicken Rezala & homemade dhal ❤️

Simple, beautiful cooking. These are the only words needed to describe this dish. Dish is similar to a tikka masala but with more heat running through it. I keep making the same mistake though sadly over & over again…..no beer in the house to enjoy it with !!!!!! This dish is usually a quicker dish…

Delightful Southern Indian take on a chicken curry ❤️

At first I wasn’t too sure how this would taste. Within my houseful we have a couple that aren’t really ‘coconut’ fans so I thought I’d chance it, hence why I’ve never cooked a Korma. As I had Friday off work due to it being half term I challenged myself with this dish as a…

Keralan Black Treacle Salmon ❤️

This…..is one of the best Indian inspired dishes I’ve ever made!!! This takes home cooking to another level. The flavours within the dish were insane…yet so simple. Again over the past few days I’ve used two different methods of cooking the fish within one dish, both of which I’ve done before but I wouldn’t have…

Goan fish curry ❤️

After a recent visit to Mowgli I was blown away with the flavours of this dish. I’ve had a number of Goan fish curries from a number of restaurants but nothing as tasty as this!! Goan curries usually have a hot and tangy heat running through them however this was tangy and sweet….and I now…

The classic Mowgli prawn curry

What a joy of dish this was to make !! A simple dish which took less than 20 minutes to make with very little preparation. A ‘sweet’ tasting dish due to the perfect marriage of ingredients. I’ve mentioned it before, the more Indian / Asian cooking you do the more you build up your larder…

Agra ginger chicken ❤️

My son who was 11 at the time of writing this post asked me for a Indian inspired Sunday lunch! Now I’m not going to miss the chance to do this!! This dish was the perfect way to bring him into the Indian food fold due to it being packed with flavour and goodness with…

Mowgli ‘angry bird chicken’ with left over dhal & Jalfrezi

This dish was inspired from my first ever visit to Mowgli’s in Birmingham New Street station. Just couldn’t believe I’d never been there before, the menu being based on street food just blew me away, to the point I went out purchased their book the following day!! I’ve already made several dishes which have really…

King Prawn Madras 🌶

I’ve never ordered a madras or cooked one. I’ll be honest, I have always been put off with the 🌶 symbols on menus. I’ve always had the opinion of ‘flavour over heat’. After cooking this dish my opinion hasn’t changed. For me, this was far too hot. I’ll admit the flavours were there but the…
